The construction of the Wegner Round Chair (aka "The Chair") is something that you could probably appreciate

Wegner could really do something quit unique with wood .... And F*CK! I had some really nice semi-rare Wegner lounge chairs. A year ago I had to move abroad and sold them on auction. I have newer regretted anything more. Every time I hear or see anything about or from Wegner I go "DAAANG"! Well, beside this, the construction of "The Chair"is Ã¼ber cool. But actually, to begin with he did not like it himself, hence this: I kinda like both. His swivel chair is similar BTW - and it is probably one of the best looking swivel chairs ever made. As a side note - compare "The Chair" and his swivel chairs construction with his "Cowhorn chair" (which als is great dinig chairs) - As said, he could really do amazing things with wood.

We have a dozen of these:
People say they are comfortable, and they are. Surprisingly so. They still annoy me.

One of the nice things about the Panton chair is that its apparent bulk shift, depending on the angle. From the side, they nearly disappear. The curves under the seat, from both the front and read view are beautiful, but from head on, the back does look very bulky.

I lobbied for either the Arne Jacobsen Series 7 or Ant chairs (we already had two 7s), but one day he smurf chairs just showed up.

Real question: why do so many seem to like thin, shiny, metal for the legs or pedestal?

for me, the less there is to the legs, the lower the chance of me banging my foot or calf or toe against it. You learn to adapt when you're a klutz. But its also a comfort thing, I like being able to move my legs around w/o interference from chunky chair legs.
